Rewarding Employers; benefitting employees...

Looking after our teeth is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Yet according to the British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy, around 415,000 people miss at least one day of work each year, due to problems with their oral health.1

r experience tells us that the cost of treatment is one of the main reasons why people avoid the dentist. And with charges on the rise, the problem may only get worse.

Including dental cover as an employee benefit can help manage costs, improve employee wellbeing and bring benefits to businesses.

Why dental insurance?

Making employees aware of the benefits on offer and encouraging take-up so you see a real return on the time and effort invested can be an ongoing challenge.

Corporate dental insurance is employees' most popular flexible benefit choice2. And because it covers both routine and more complex procedures, it’s widely-used and highly-valued. By encouraging regular check-ups, it maintains oral health, can help reduce sickness absence and can help employers recruit and retain key talent.

It’s also simple to implement, easy to administer, with a quick and clear claims process, encouraging employee engagement.
